As I cannot get the original security footage to view first hand, I would prefer a second (unrelated) witness... but what can I say, I like high standards of proof.
It is perhaps unfortunate that some good points were raised technically in defense of Gino. I am hoping that the banning had nothing to do with the tournament DQ (and vice versa) - assuming TPCi had both the eye witness testimony and the footage that corroborated it, that would be sufficient to issue a ban. Judges saying someone was glancing at the bottom of the deck after shuffles doesn't seem worth a lifetime ban unless this it at least the second time for being booted from a tournament for the violation. Still not happy with what led to the DQ; but in light of this mess such a topic is probably best handled in a different thread.
